Is it ok to clean your CRTs with Isoprophyl Alcohol, 70% ? Thanks.
 
I cant remember where I read it but Im pretty sure it said you want cleaners with no alcohol at all in them. I think it said something along the lines of alcohol messing up the coatings on the monitor glass. You should be able to get away with a water and soap solution.
 
Can anyone back this up? Soap and water leaves residue and streaks, my pet peeve is clean spotless mirrors , windows, and any type of glass :rolleyes:
 
"Q. What can I use to clean my screen?
A. LCD: Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Case of persistent dirt, wipe with cloth permeated by water, ethanol, isopropyl-alcohol completely. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner (ex Acid, Alkali and Acetone).
CRT: A special coating is provided on the glass (CRT) surface of this monitor to reduce a reflection and static electricity on the glass surface. Due to the delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol, neutral, nonabrasive cleaning solution to minimize dust. If the screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply water or soften neutral detergent with much water directly to a soft cloth and use it upon wringing water, to clean the glass surface.

CAUTION: The following agents will cause damage to the CRT when cleaning the glass surface: Benzene, thinner, acid/alkaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive powder, detergent with antistatic agent, or detergent for cleaning. "

Thanks for the help
 
I picked up a bottle of eyeglass cleaner speccified for glass with anti-reflective coating. It works well. I believe Super Walmarts carry it in their Eye place.
